Simple Question: Expanding on the Blog Tutorial

[eluser]Bainzy[/eluser]
Hi,

the simple way in which to show the number of comments is to modify the controller slightly, all you need to do is in the controller change the line that reads

Code:

$data['query'] = $this->db->get('comments');

to

Code:

$data['comments'] = $this->db->get('comments');

then on your view file have the following or something similar

Code:

&lt;?php echo '<cite>'.count($comments).'</cite>'; ?&gt;

the simple count statement will count how many results are in the comments table.

Hope this helps
